Synapse Audio has launched a new software synthesizer designed to brings retro sound with modern features.
Proxima steps into the golden era of analog synthesis with a new virtual instrument that brings the iconic warmth and character of the vintage Prophet 600 analog synthesizer from Sequential to your DAW.
Proxima is based on a unique analog synth from 1982, famous for its rich 6-voice polyphony, signature Curtis analog chips, and the first synth ever to integrate MIDI input and output.
While Proxima faithfully recreates the tone and character of the original hardware, additional features have also been added to facilitate the creative process and bring the hardware seamlessly into the sphere of soft synths. This includes additional filter types, a powerful modulation matrix with 10 slots, a comprehensive arpeggiator/sequencer, as well as an effect section to further shape the sound.
